GM foods impact on our health
Genetically modified, or GM, foods are negatively affecting our health and are linked to increasing rates of infertility in our population. In a study by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety lab rats fed GM corn showed a dramatic decrease in fertility rates. Their offspring had an even worse fate with a 500% increase in mortality and the inability to reproduce, http://www.bbccons.com - http://www.bbccons.com . GM foods also caused kidney lesions and inflammation, http://www.newdresstore.com/ - formal dresses 2013 , cancer symptoms and problems with blood sugar and blood pressure in rats. In the US, http://www.cafedharwin.com/ - michael kors handbags outlet , farmers have reported that thousands of pigs became sterile after eating GM corn.
Genetically modified foods have only been around since 1995, http://bbs.3737.com/memcp.php - http://bbs.3737.com/memcp.php . The FDA assumed they were the same as non-GM foods and approved them without conducting necessary studies on humans. There are no studies done on humans to this date to find out what happens when we regularly consume GM foods. We do not know what the future holds for our health, but the studies done on lab rats are very ominous. According to Dr. Mercola, percent of the money Americans spend on food is spent on processed foods and seventy percent of processed foods have genetically modified foods in them We are consuming these foods in large amounts without even taking into consideration what the long term consequences may be on our health, http://www.artesmaia.com - windows 7 product key , http://www.faceladder.com/index.php?do=/blog/766080/she-told-the-bbc/ - http://www.faceladder.com/index.php?do=/blog/766080/she-told-the-bbc/ .
How can we avoid eating GM foods? The major GM food crops are soy, corn, cottonseed, http://www.silkflower4sale.com/ - oakley sunglasses outlet , and canola. Read labels; processed foods are made up mainly from these four crops because they are cheap to produce in large amounts. Corn-syrup, for example, is in almost everything you find on your grocers shelf. Start buying organic and local if you want to avoid consuming GM foods. Follow this non-GMO food list when you go shopping.
